The Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation awarded the College of Education with the 2025 Frank Murray Leadership Recognition for Continuous Improvement during its annual meeting in Arlington, Va., Sept. 9-10.
The Frank Murray Recognition is awarded annually to providers demonstrating evidence and data trends to achieve CAEP accreditation with no stipulations or areas for improvement. Providers selected for this recognition advance equity and excellence in educator preparation through purposeful use of self-study procedures and evidence-based reporting that assure quality and support continuous improvement to strengthen P-12 learning.
The award is named after Frank Murray, who was the founding President of the Teacher Education Accreditation Council (TEAC), served as Chairman of the Board for TEAC and was also an initial member of the CAEP Board of Directors.
